On Saturday, the famed King & Marshall Top Fuel dragster will be at Battleship Cove in Fall River along with Reunion Grand Marshal and former champ driver Jimmy King of Warren along with dragster fabricator Ray Helger of Little Compton.

NHRA museum director Larry Fisher promises that the top fuel monster will be fired up at around 11 am. He will also be talking about the history of drag racing in New England alone with museum curator, Greg Sharp. The event is open to the public, but normal museum admission applies to enter Battleship Cove.

The Hot Rod Reunion Series is at the New England Dragway in Epping, NH, Sept. 12-14.

It promises vintage race cars of all sorts, a vintage speed parts swap meet, a free honoree reception on Friday, and a spectacular illumination event Saturday night when dozens of vintage Nitro burning dragsters burst into action simultaneously at Cacklefest.
